Lies make baby jesus cry

Another step in the evolution of the game list GUI. I changed the right side where covers, info, reviews, etc were shown and more....

Now there is no default covers shown for a system, instead down comes the RetroCopy garage. Which also animates when clicking on a game.

Filtering has also moved to free up some space, making it a bit less cluttered now. Final thing to do is the system options and it is done!

I also forgot to add you can move around the 3D boxes better now. Not just a simple click, but moving them too.

The new design is really excellent.
Retrocopy has clearly the best emulator interface available ...

An idea :
In the media player today on pc you can set different view of your media collection. One of these view is the "View Wall" which shows all the media (albums, movies ...) with only the cover :

You can see in this video the differents wall view available in xbox media center.

I think it would be really great to have this view in retrocopy in the future ...

Yeah there definitely needs to be an alternate game browse interface that is like that XBMC wall feature. It will take some time for the systems to get all the covers though, Tommy is working on MegaDrive atm and has completed quite a lot of them, SMS is nearly completely done. The other systems not so much though.

The difference is there is no existing work that we can easily swallow up into this project and we have to do it all ourselves for the most part. Possibly in the future I can hire some extra people or get volunteers to help with this.

Just wanted to add we have had some volunteers who have helped out with the Mega Drive covers. You are not forgotten, guys

Sorry yes, Tommy has been coordinating it and I don't know much about that operation (this is sounding more like a Libya invasion plan than emulator talk). Sasha has also done thousands of Mega Drive screenshots which are great!
